extract boolean value from variant

[hiNI]

Hello, Sorry for my incomplete explanation, but if you are given that specific stop button in an exam, can you modify it to your suggested solution and not lose any points?.

Hello, how would you typically go about resetting the button to its default value?

Command buttons should be latched.  I am not sure about losing points for changing the mechanical action (I would guess that you would), but you definately would lose points for the local variable or property node for resetting it.

Hello, thanks for your input.  I see that in order to overcome then the local variable, I would have to use the shift register.  How then would you go about resetting the button without using the property node value?

A latch action button resets itself. Just place thee terminal in the dataflow.

By doing one of the options I gave you here.  By having the button set to "Latch When Released" and putting the terminal in the event case, the button will "reset" when the event is handled since that is where the terminal is read, causing the unlatching to happen.
